Hi,
We are (still) mainly using CentOS 5 (5.8 x86_64). As CentOS / RHEL 5 standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using LTB OpenLDAP packages (http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap), which get installed in non-standard file system locations.
So, I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on these OpenLDAP libraries, esp. because I see that dovecot RPM packages are built using OpenLDAP v2.3 libraries.
I am not much experienced in building RPMs and preparing spec files.
In http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec I see:
BuildRequires: openldap-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel
...
Obsoletes: %{name}-pgsql < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $ Conflicts: %{name}-pgsql > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
So, I can change the former reference (openldap-devel) to:
openldap-ltb-debuginfo, cyrus-sasl-develQuestion 1: What other changes should we make in order to specify that we will be using LDAP libraries from: /usr/local/openldap/lib64 and include files from: /usr/local/openldap/include (rather than from /usr/lib64 and /usr/include, respectively, which are the standard file paths used in openldap-devel)
Question 2: How the Obsoletes and Conflicts lines should be changed?
Question 3: It seems to me (by reading the spec file) that the final Dovecot RPM (and the included executables) does not need any LDAP dynamic library in order to run with LDAP support (because I don't see any dependencies on openldap package). Can somebody please confirm?
Any other associated info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nick
